Passing over the ship's holds I look down upon sedate shoals of crescent-tailed bigeyes, their reflective tapetums looking like silver cataracts. |
|
As in other nocturnal fish, bigeyes have just that, big eyes and are red in body color. |
|
Great swarms of bigeyes were shoaling on the reef next to swarms of soldierfish, blue-striped snapper and black-sided horse-eyed jacks. |
|
While I was observing a dense mass of postlarval bigeyes circling a night light in the Bahamas, some gray snappers arrived on the scene and began to prey upon the small fish. |

The first Bigeyes could be ready by September 1988, Welch says. |
